Salted Caramel Brownie Cake Recipes

SALTED CARAMEL BROWNIE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Line 15- x 10-inch (40 x 25 cm) rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Prepare brownie mix according to package directions. Scrape into prepared pan; smooth top. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until only a few moist crumbs stick to cake tester when inserted into centre. Let cool completely. Remove parchment paper. Cut into three 10- x 5-inch (25 x 12 cm) rectangles; set aside.
• Meanwhile, using electric mixer, beat together cream cheese and 1/2 cup (125 mL) caramel sauce until smooth. Using clean beaters and bowl, beat cream until stiff peaks form. Fold into cream cheese mixture.
• Place 1 brownie cake layer on serving platter. Spread with one-third of cream cheese mixture. Repeat layers twice. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
• Before serving, drizzle with remaining caramel and sprinkle with pecans and sea salt.

CARAMEL BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-by-8-inch baking pan (a square pan will result in thicker brownies).
• In a medium-large saucepan, melt the butter with the chocolate over low heat, whisking occasionally until smooth and melted. Sprinkle in the cocoa powder and whisk to combine. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
• Stir in the granulated sugar and vanilla until just combined. Stir in the eggs. Gently stir in the flour until halfway incorporated. Pour the batter (it will be very thick!) into the prepared pan.
• Place the dulce de leche in a glass bowl. Warm it in the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds. Drop large dollops of dulce de leche on the surface of the brownie batter. Use a knife to slowly swirl it through the batter. Don't drag the knife sideways through the batter; hold it so the thin side of the knife leads the way.
• Bake for 40 minutes, then check the brownies with a toothpick. If they are overly gooey/messy, return to the oven for 5 to 10 more minutes (just be careful not to burn the edges). Allow to cool completely (important!), then sprinkle with powdered sugar and cut into small squares.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9 x 12 x 1 1/2-inch baking pan.
• Melt the butter, 8 ounces of the chocolate chips, and the unsweetened chocolate together in a medium bowl set over simmering water. Allow to cool for 15 minutes. In a large bowl, stir (do not beat) together the eggs, coffee, vanilla, and sugar. Stir the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and allow to cool to room temperature (see note below).
• In a medium bowl, sift together 1/2 cup of the flour, the baking powder, and salt and add to the chocolate mixture. Toss the remaining 6 ounces of chocolate chips and the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour in a medium bowl and add them to the chocolate mixture. Spread evenly in the prepared pan.
• Bake for 35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Don't overbake!
• As soon as the brownies are out of the oven, place the jar of caramel sauce without the lid in a microwave and heat just until it's pourable. Stir until smooth. Drizzle the caramel evenly over the hot brownies and sprinkle with the sea salt. Cool completely and cut into 12 bars.

SALTED CARAMEL BROWNIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
• Grease then line a 23cm square traybake tin with baking parchment.
• Melt 200g unsalted butter in a medium pan, break in 100g chocolate (70% cocoa solids) and 100g chocolate (50% cocoa solids), then remove the pan from the heat and wait for the cubes to melt.
• In a small bowl, mix 175g Carnation caramel from a 397g can with 1 tsp sea salt - it will loosen up.
• Put the rest of the caramel in a large bowl with 200g golden caster sugar and 4 medium eggs, and beat with an electric hand mixer or balloon whisk until even. Whisk in the chocolate and butter.
• In another bowl, combine 130g plain flour, 50g cocoa powder and a good pinch of table salt, then sift this on top of the chocolate mix. Beat briefly until smooth.
• Pour half the brownie batter into the tin and level it with a spatula.
• Using a teaspoon, spoon half of the salted caramel on top of the batter layer in 5 thick, evenly spaced stripes.
• Spoon the rest of the brownie batter on top and smooth it out, trying not to disturb the caramel beneath. Top with the rest of the caramel in the same stripy fashion. Drag a skewer or tip of a knife through the caramel to make a feathered pattern on the top.
• Scatter with a little more sea salt, then bake for 25-30 mins or until risen all the way to the middle with a firm crust on top. When ready, the brownie will jiggle just a little when you shake the tin.
• Let it cool completely in the tin, then cut into squares.

SALTED CARAMEL CHOCOLATE BROWNIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Place the flour, baking powder and sugar in a bowl and mix to combine. Add the eggs, caramel, vanilla and butter and whisk until smooth. Stir in the chocolate and spoon the mixture into an 8" square cake pan lined with non-stick parchment paper. Sprinkle with the sea salt and bake for 40-45 minutes or until just firm around the edges.
• Cut into 16 squares and serve warm or cold.

SALTED CARAMEL BROWNIES

Steps:

• 1. NOTE: Fleur de Sel is a rare and expensive form of sea salt that is harvested in parts of France. The name fleur de sel is from the French for "flower of salt."
• 2. Caramelize the sweetened condensed milk by immersing a closed can of sweetened condensed milk on its side in a pot of water and bring to a boil. Simmer or light boil for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, topping off with water as needed. NOTE: Be careful and don't allow water to dry out; it can explode. Remove from heat and cool thoroughly before opening. DO NOT open the can while it's still hot. The condensed milk should be thick and nice caramel color. You can do this a day ahead.
• 3. Combine caramelized milk, sugar, corn syrup and water in a medium saucepan.
• 4. Heat over a medium/high heat, stirring continuously until it reaches a deep amber color about 20 minutes. It will also be pretty thick.
• 5. Remove from heat and slowly stir in heavy cream.
• 6. Then add Fleur de Sel.
• 7. Whisk in sour cream.
• 8. Set aside to cool.
• 9. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare 9 x 13-inch baking pan with Bakers Choice spray or butter. Line bottom of the pan with parchment paper. Lightly spray parchment paper with Bakers Choice or lightly butter; set aside.
• 10. In a medium bowl; whisk together flour, salt and cocoa powder; set aside.
• 11. Place chocolate and butter in a bowl of double boiler.
• 12. Set over simmering water, stirring occasionally until completely melted and combined.
• 13. Turn heat off and leave the bowl over hot water; add both sugar and brown sugar. Whisk until completely combined. Remove bowl from hot water. It should be room temperature. If not, allow to cool a few minutes.
• 14. When chocolate is at room temperature; add three eggs and whisk just until combined.
• 15. Add the remaining two eggs and whisk just until combined.
• 16. Add vanilla and stir until combined being careful not to overbeat the batter at this point or you will have a dry brownie.
• 17. Gently fold dry ingredients into chocolate mixture.
• 18. Again, do not over mix. NOTE: All this mixing is done by hand.
• 19. Spread 1/2 of the brownie mixture in the bottom of the prepared pan.
• 20. In a zig-zag fashion, drizzle/pour caramel over brownie mixture (this mixture is thick), taking care to not allow the caramel to touch sides of the pan as it will burn. Spread evenly over brownie mixture, again ensuring caramel does not touch pan. Drop heaping spoonfuls of remaining brownie mixture over caramel mixture.
• 21. Spread evenly over caramel mixture to edges of pan.
• 22. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Top will begin to look like it's drying out a little around the edges when done.
• 23. Remove from oven. Sprinkle top of brownies with 1 1/2 tsp Fleur de Sel and 1 tsp coarse sugar.
• 24. Allow browines to completely cool before cutting. Store wrapped in plastic wrap for up to 4 days.
